When he woke up in the morning and looked at Gu Qiancheng, who was snuggled in his arms and defenseless, Qin Xiaoyan didn't want to get up at all!

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant that the Spring Festival was short, and what it meant that the king would not reign early from now on!

On such a cold day, who wants to face those hard-nosed and hard-faced old men?

But......

He had to get up!

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he, who is the emperor, needs to worship his ancestors, and he can't be absent no matter what.

Looking at the bruises in Gu Qiancheng's eyes, Qin Lianyan knew that she hadn't slept well last night, so in order not to wake up Gu Qiancheng, Qin Lianyan got out of bed lightly and took her clothes to wear outside.

The palace maids and eunuchs who stayed outside the hall saw that there was movement, and immediately walked in, their movements were very light, but in this way, Qin Shiyan also lowered his voice and reminded them to lighten up, don't wake up Gu Qiancheng.

The palace maids and eunuchs were more careful, and secretly said in their hearts: The emperor really favors the girl, and they will serve the girl more wholeheartedly in the future.

Qin Xiaoyan is going to worship his ancestors today, and he is wearing a very grand outfit, the black dragon robe is embroidered with a golden dragon, which makes Qin Xiaoyan even more magnificent, majestic, and imposing, and the palace maids and eunuchs who should serve don't even dare to breathe.

It took two quarters of an hour for Qin Xiaoyan to change his clothes, pinch and have breakfast, and then set up a guard of honor and went to the Taimiao.

Gu Qiancheng woke up not long after Qin Xiaoyan left, the palace maid had been waiting outside, always paying attention to Gu Qiancheng's movements, seeing Gu Qiancheng wake up, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Girl, the saint has gone up to worship the ancestors, and I can't come back until noon." There is a decree from the Holy Father, asking the girl to rest well in the temple and wait for him to return. ”

"Hmm." Gu Qiancheng replied lazily, his eyebrows and eyes were full of seductive style, his eyes glanced at it, he saw the bruises on his body, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he secretly said in his heart that Qin Xiaoyan was hungry and ruthless, and his hands were so heavy.

When the palace maid saw this scene, she hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Girl, the Holy God has given a plaster to eliminate bruises, should the girl wipe it now, or wipe it after bathing?" ”

"Let's take a shower first." Gu Qiancheng casually put his coat on his body and went to the bath behind the palace.

The bath was already sprinkled with flower petals, and the water temperature was just right, and at a glance, the palace people were ready at any time, just waiting for Gu Qiancheng to wake up.

Soaking in the warm water, Gu Qiancheng let out a long breath, lay on the steps, relaxed his body, and enjoyed the comfort of bathing......

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Qiancheng felt a little stuffy in his heart, so he stood up from the water, pulled the bath towel and wrapped it around his body, and was about to drink some fruit wine to replenish his water, but the palace maid hurriedly ran in, "Miss Gu, it's not good......"

"What's wrong?" Gu Qiancheng was not superstitious, but when he heard this on the first day of the new year, he couldn't help frowning.

The palace maid knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she knelt down with a plop, "The slave should die, please punish Miss Gu." ”

"Alright, let's talk about it...... What happened? Gu Qiancheng poured himself a glass of fruit wine, and when he was about to drink it, he heard the palace maid say: "Girl, the Gu family sent someone into the palace to spread the word, say, say...... Girl, your father, went this morning. ”

"What?" Syllable...... The wine glass in Gu Qiancheng's hand fell, and the wine spilled on the ground.

The palace maid knew that this was not a good thing, but she still repeated, "The girl's father went this morning. ”

"How is that possible?" Gu Qiancheng's face turned pale, and his first reaction was that there was a conspiracy!

Although her scumbag father has been in prison for a period of time and has been tortured, his body is fine, and it is impossible to die at least in the next few years.

"Girl, the Gu family is still outside." The palace maid knew that Gu Qiancheng couldn't accept it, but who would joke about this kind of thing?

However, the Gu family's approach is indeed strange. Someone in the family died on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is not an ordinary bad luck, and most people will cover it and wait for three or five days before it explodes. But the Gu family is good, people died on the first day of the Lunar New Year, not only did they not hide it, but they also sent people into the palace to find Gu Qiancheng with great fanfare, and they didn't know what kind of heart An's heart was.

The palace maid could think of it, how could Gu Qiancheng not think of it, Gu Qiancheng's face was pale, and he walked out quickly, "Change my clothes and let people prepare the carriage." ”

Either way, that scumbag dad was nominally her father, and she had to go back immediately. As for the impact of this incident?

I'm afraid that no matter how skilled she is, she can't save it, after all, it is impossible for her to challenge the ancestral etiquette.

Gu Qiancheng hurriedly changed his clothes, and he didn't even have time to eat, so he left the palace directly. Outside the palace gate, when he saw the subordinate sent by the Gu family, Gu Qiancheng did not stop the carriage, but only sent someone to ask him to follow.

The carriage traveled all the way and soon arrived at Gu's house, and Gu Qiancheng jumped off without waiting for the carriage to stop.

The red lantern outside the gate of the Gu family was taken down, and the white cloth had not been hung up for the time being, and it seemed that the Gu family didn't want to explode today, but it was just ......

The news has spread to the palace, can this matter still be hidden?

Even if she hides it, what can she do, her own father is dead, no matter which day she dies, she has to keep her filial piety.

As soon as Gu Qiancheng stepped into the mansion, the housekeeper greeted him, "Miss, you are back, the old lady is waiting for you in the main hall." ”

"Hmm." Gu Qiancheng responded and continued to walk forward.

The red lanterns and silk flowers in the house have not been taken off, and there is a red fire and festivity of the New Year everywhere, but the clothes on the people of the next place are not the new clothes worn during the New Year, but the dead people wear plain clothes, which is in stark contrast to the festivities in the house.

Gu Qiancheng took a step into the main hall, and saw that all the blessing characters and lanterns in the main hall were put away, the old lady, the second uncle, and the third uncle's family were all there, and all the clothes on their bodies were changed into plain clothes...... Go! ”

"Old lady, second uncle, third uncle." Gu Qiancheng hurriedly saluted, and then asked the old lady, "How did my father go?" ”

Since the last time the old lady Gu came out of the palace, her health has not been very good, she looks like she has had a stroke and is about to recur, and her speech is becoming more and more unpleasant, seeing Gu Qiancheng asking, she pointed at Gu Third Uncle, "Third child, you talk to Qiancheng." ”

"Yes, father." Uncle Gu knew the importance of this matter, and told Gu Qiancheng everything he knew, without hiding a trace of it.

After the reunion dinner last night, the eldest man of the Gu family celebrated the New Year with everyone, and dispersed after the child. The eldest man of the Gu family was in a depressed mood, so he didn't go back to the room, but went to the study, drank alone, and didn't let people wait.

This morning, everyone was ready to go to worship their ancestors, but they didn't see the eldest master appear, so they sent someone to find them. When the next person found it, he found that the eldest man was dead in the study, and his body was hard.

Seeing that Gu Qiancheng's face was sinking like water, he was not happy or sad, he sighed secretly and continued: "The eldest brother died strangely, we are afraid that there will be some problems, so we dare not touch the body of the eldest brother, but today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and we are not good at reporting to the official, so we want to go to the palace to find you." ”

A good person suddenly dies in the study, although the possibility of sudden death is very large, but what if it is not?

So, it's better to check it out......
